14,227 PointsHello, What is the difference between a "tag" and an "element?" It seems that the two terms are used interchangeably.
Someone else asked this question in another treehouse forum but I didn't quite understand the answer. All I understood was that the element is whats inside the tag. An elaboration would be appreciated. Thank you
